Key benefits

  • Build exemplary Salesforce architectures by studying anti-patterns that lead to failing systems
  • Demonstrate deep architectural principles that you can apply in your Salesforce projects
  • Identify common problems in Salesforce architectures and apply better architectural solutions

Description

Salesforce Anti-Patterns teaches you to spot errors in Salesforce patterns that may seem like a good idea at first but end up costing you dearly. This book will enable Salesforce developers and architects to understand how ingenious Salesforce architectures can be created by studying anti-patterns and solutions to problems that can later lead to serious implementation issues. While there are several books on the market that start with the question, “How do I create great Salesforce architecture?” and proceed to a solution from there, this book instead starts by asking, “What tends to go wrong with Salesforce architectures?” and proceeds to a solution from there. In this book, you’ll find out how to identify and mitigate anti-patterns in the technical domains of system architecture, data architecture, and security architecture, along with anti-patterns in the functional domain of solution architecture as well as for integration architecture. You’ll also learn about common anti-patterns affecting your Salesforce development process and governance and, finally, how to spot common problems in how architects communicate their solutions. By the end of this Salesforce book, you’ll have gained the confidence to architect and communicate solutions on the Salesforce platform while dodging common mistakes.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Salesforce architects, aspiring architects, developers, consultants, and decision makers who want to start making the right architectural choices or prepare for their journey to CTA. This book helps you gain a professional understanding of Salesforce and its building blocks. It is not code-centric, so you will benefit from both functional and technical experience, but a basic level of platform understanding is required.

What you will learn

  • Create a balanced system architecture by identifying common mistakes around on- and off-platform functionality and interfaces
  • Avoid security problems that arise from anti-patterns on the Salesforce platform
  • Spot common data architecture issues and discover intuitive ways to address them
  • Avoid the dual traps of over- and under-customization in your solution architecture
  • Explore common errors made in deployment setups, test strategy, and architecture governance
  • Understand why bad communication patterns are so overlooked in architecture

Lars has done a great job in structuring the book itself, it has minute details of each topic for newbies, diagrams based interpretation for seasoned folks and curated quick recap summaries for CTA aspirants.Everyone majorly focuses on patterns to introduce standardization but Lars told us that it can indeed introduce Anti-pattern which might lead you to rethink entire design.

This was a great read. Easy to understand and lots of use cases and scenarios that are real world (I have run into many of the anti-patterns described in my career). The structure of the book and the way the sections and chapters are laid out were super useful.Specifically, I liked the way the chapters described the anti-pattern, then a use case, and then WHY the anti-pattern might have been used, the results, and recommendations on alternatives. The "extras" included about how to apply this learning to the CTA exam are also a great bonus. As a side note, the author also included a set of additional readings, both for more fundamentals of anti-patterns and for architects and those studying for the CTA exam. Some of his recommendations are already in my library, and I will definitely be looking into the others.Any Architect wanting to hone their craft, especially those studying for the CTA, will find value in this book. I would also submit that anyone trying to set up an architecture governance board for their organization should add this book to their "must-read" list.

It is a comprehensive guide that delves into the common mistakes and pitfalls encountered in Salesforce architecture and development. It provides valuable insights on how to create a balanced and effective system architecture by identifying and rectifying these anti-patterns. Whether you are a seasoned Salesforce architect or an aspiring one, a developer, consultant, or a decision-maker involved in Salesforce projects, this book offers essential knowledge to help you make the right architectural choices.One of the key strengths of this book lies in its ability to highlight the significance of on- and off-platform functionality and interfaces within a Salesforce system architecture. Malmqvist skillfully identifies and addresses typical mistakes made in integrating these components, thereby enabling readers to build a more coherent and efficient system.Security is a paramount concern for any Salesforce implementation, and this book does not disappoint in tackling the security implications of anti-patterns. By bringing attention to common security issues that arise from these practices, the author equips readers with the necessary knowledge to fortify their Salesforce platform against potential threats.Data architecture is another critical aspect covered in the book. Malmqvist adeptly points out common data architecture issues and provides intuitive solutions to address them. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of data management within Salesforce, ensuring data integrity and optimized performance.The book delves into the challenging balance between customization and standardization in solution architecture. By cautioning against over- and under-customization, readers learn to strike the right balance, resulting in a scalable and maintainable solution.

The book is a must-have for Salesforce architects, and an ought-to-have for all Salesforce professionals.Salesforce Antipatterns is concise, illustrative, and - at times - even a funny book about a serious subject - making it easy to read compared to other tech books. For anyone preparing for the CTA it is as critical to understand what or how not to design, as it is to know what to propose.
